A hundred years after a woman was hanged, the search for justice reveals a story of simple faith, obsession and murder. In 1832, an 18-year-old Frankie Silver was charged with murdering her young husband. In 1833, she became the first woman in North Carolina to be hanged for murder. But is she guilty? Tennessee Sheriff Spencer Arrowood is determined to reveal the truth behind this unsolved problem.
Frankie Silver’s ballad perfectly weaves past and present, truth and novels, folklore and legends, in a fascinating story sweeping from the living room of the early aristocrats to an indoor cabin deep in the Appalachian wilderness Ruins… The 19th-century courts and infamously deserted exposed rooms hung with hanging oak, ultimately providing the ultimate shock to modern justice.
